These people are amongst the greatest quiz players in Britain.

0:00:040:00:08

Together they make up the Eggheads,

0:00:100:00:11

arguably the most formidable quiz team in the county.

0:00:110:00:14

The question is...

0:00:170:00:18

can they be beaten?

0:00:180:00:20

Welcome to Eggheads, the show where a team of five quiz challengers

0:00:240:00:27

pit their wits against possibly the greatest quiz team in Britain -

0:00:270:00:31

they are the Eggheads.

0:00:310:00:32

And taking on our quiz champions today

0:00:320:00:35

are the Sages of Gateshead.

0:00:350:00:37

This team of colleagues all work for

0:00:370:00:39

the Gateshead Library Service,

0:00:390:00:40

so let's meet them.

0:00:400:00:42

Hello. I'm John.

0:00:420:00:43

I'm 54 and I'm a library systems officer.

0:00:430:00:46

Hi. I'm Simon. I'm 48 and I'm a Central Services librarian.

0:00:460:00:50

Hello. I'm Beryl. I'm 52

0:00:500:00:53

and I'm a librarian.

0:00:530:00:54

Hi. I'm Michael. I'm 40. I'm a librarian.

0:00:540:00:58

Hi. I'm JB. I'm 56

0:00:580:01:00

and I'm the reference and local history manager.

0:01:000:01:03

Welcome to you, Sages.

0:01:030:01:05

That's quite a billing to live up to, that team name -

0:01:050:01:08

the Sages of Gateshead.

0:01:080:01:10

-Yes.

-Tell me about it, how you got the team name.

0:01:100:01:13

If I didn't want to tempt fate,

0:01:130:01:15

I would say that we were trying to sound clever.

0:01:150:01:18

But in fact I don't, so...

0:01:180:01:20

I'll say that it's based on an iconic building

0:01:200:01:23

in Gateshead -

0:01:230:01:24

the Sage concert hall.

0:01:240:01:27

OK. Well, listen, let's play this quiz, then.

0:01:270:01:29

Every day there's £1,000 worth of cash up for grabs

0:01:290:01:32

for our challengers. However, if they fail to defeat the Eggheads,

0:01:320:01:35

the prize money rolls over to the next show.

0:01:350:01:37

So Sages of Gateshead, the Eggheads have won the last 12 games.

0:01:370:01:41

Well done, Eggheads.

0:01:410:01:43

Which means £13,000 says you can't beat the Eggheads today.

0:01:430:01:46

And we'll start the quiz off with a round on Sport.

0:01:470:01:52

Please pick a player to take on a Egghead.

0:01:520:01:54

This one's got to be... got to be Simon.

0:01:540:01:56

-Simon.

-Simon.

-Yeah.

0:01:560:01:59

OK, Simon, and choose your Egghead.

0:01:590:02:01

Hmm, um... I'll be chauvinistic here

0:02:010:02:03

and probably choose Judith, unfortunately.

0:02:030:02:07

All righty.

0:02:070:02:08

Opening round. It's going to be Simon and Judith playing Sport.

0:02:080:02:11

Into the Question Room, both of you, please.

0:02:110:02:14

OK, Sport. Do you want to go first or second?

0:02:150:02:17

I'll go first.

0:02:170:02:19

Good luck, Simon. Here's your first question.

0:02:220:02:24

At the 2010 French Open,

0:02:240:02:26

Francesca Schiavone became the first female tennis player

0:02:260:02:29

from which country to win a Grand Slam singles title?

0:02:290:02:32

It's not Switzerland because it's, um...

0:02:350:02:37

the Swiss Miss...

0:02:370:02:39

Henin, was it? No.

0:02:390:02:40

I've forgotten her name,

0:02:400:02:42

the Swiss Miss, I forgot her name.

0:02:420:02:44

It's certainly not Belgium,

0:02:440:02:47

because... I forgot her name as well,

0:02:470:02:49

but I know the Belgians have won the Grand Slams.

0:02:490:02:52

-It'll be Italy.

-OK.

0:02:520:02:54

Well, of all the names you forgot, at least you remembered this one.

0:02:540:02:57

Francesca Schiavone - Italian, yes. The right answer.

0:02:570:02:59

Judith, the boxer Chad Dawson,

0:03:020:03:05

who won the WBC light heavyweight title in April 2012

0:03:050:03:08

is known by what by-name?

0:03:080:03:10

Um...Mad?

0:03:130:03:15

OK. Mad Chad Dawson, can see it.

0:03:170:03:19

But it's Bad Chad Dawson.

0:03:190:03:21

So, unlucky. Means Simon has a lead

0:03:210:03:24

which can grow bigger if he gets this.

0:03:240:03:27

In 2011, the German former international footballer

0:03:270:03:31

Jupp Heynckes became manager of which club?

0:03:310:03:35

Ooh...

0:03:390:03:40

German football isn't my strong point.

0:03:400:03:43

Don't think it's Bayern Munich.

0:03:450:03:47

Um...

0:03:470:03:48

I'm going to have a mad...

0:03:480:03:52

Teutonic guess at Werder Bremen.

0:03:520:03:55

You mad Teutonic guesser, you!

0:03:560:03:58

We had "mad" in the last answer, which was incorrect.

0:04:000:04:03

This one's incorrect as well, I'm afraid.

0:04:030:04:05

-It is Bayern Munich.

-Oh, dear!

0:04:050:04:07

So, Judith, chance to catch up.

0:04:070:04:09

In betting, the traditional Spring Double

0:04:090:04:12

is made up of the Grand National at Aintree

0:04:120:04:14

and which other race, run at Doncaster?

0:04:140:04:16

Well, the St Leger is certainly not in the spring.

0:04:200:04:22

It's in September.

0:04:220:04:24

I think it's the Lincoln Handicap.

0:04:240:04:26

Yes, it is. Well worked out, Judith.

0:04:280:04:30

So you have drawn level

0:04:300:04:32

and everything to play for, Simon.

0:04:320:04:34

What is the real first name of the American golfer

0:04:340:04:37

Bubba Watson, the winner of the 2012 US Masters?

0:04:370:04:41

Um...

0:04:440:04:45

Guesswork...I'll go Geoff.

0:04:470:04:49

Geoff Watson. Geoff Bubba Watson.

0:04:490:04:52

It's Gerry.

0:04:520:04:54

-Gerry.

-Me dad will kill us!

0:04:550:04:57

Is he the golfer in your family?

0:04:580:05:00

The golfer in the family, yeah.

0:05:000:05:02

Well, Judith still has to get this if you're to lose it.

0:05:020:05:05

Judith, at the 2011 World Cup,

0:05:050:05:07

which Indian cricketer, having scored 362 runs

0:05:070:05:11

and taken 15 wickets,

0:05:110:05:13

received the Player of the Tournament award?

0:05:130:05:15

Oh, gosh!

0:05:200:05:21

Well, I don't think it's Zaheer Khan,

0:05:210:05:24

because that sounds a more Pakistani name.

0:05:240:05:27

Um...

0:05:270:05:29

I don't know. The middle one - Yuvraj Singh.

0:05:290:05:31

You've gone down the middle.

0:05:330:05:35

Simon should have done...

0:05:350:05:36

And you've got it! You've won it.

0:05:360:05:38

Bad luck, Simon.

0:05:380:05:40

You can tell you know about your sport.

0:05:400:05:42

Just had a guess at a couple there

0:05:420:05:44

and they didn't go in for you. It means Judith has won

0:05:440:05:46

and is playing in the final round. No place for you.

0:05:460:05:48

Would you both please come back and join your teams.

0:05:480:05:51

Well, after that round, it means the Sages of Gateshead

0:05:530:05:56

have lost one brain from the final round. Eggheads are all there,

0:05:560:05:59

but of course only one round gone.

0:05:590:06:00

Next one, then, is Arts & Books.

0:06:000:06:02

Who's going to take this one on from the Sages?

0:06:020:06:05

THEY CONFER

0:06:050:06:07

Do you want to...?

0:06:070:06:09

-I don't mind.

-I mean, do you...?

0:06:110:06:12

-Shall I?

-Go on, Beryl.

-Go on!

-OK, I'll go for that one.

0:06:120:06:16

All right, Beryl, and choose your Egghead.

0:06:160:06:18

It just can't be Judith. Any of the other four, though.

0:06:180:06:21

I think I'd like to challenge Barry,

0:06:210:06:23

because I like his shirt!

0:06:230:06:25

OK, it's going to be Barry and Beryl into the Question Room, please.

0:06:270:06:31

Beryl, I like this fact I've been told about you.

0:06:330:06:35

You ran a lap with Usain Bolt - well, not quite, I know!

0:06:350:06:38

Just beat him by a nose, didn't you?

0:06:380:06:41

-And you were wearing your heels!

-I was indeed!

0:06:410:06:43

I was very, very lucky. A stadium of 80,000 people

0:06:430:06:45

and I actually got to shake his hand.

0:06:450:06:47

Tell me about that. So you won tickets to go and see the final,

0:06:470:06:51

which is good enough in anybody's book,

0:06:510:06:53

but then you got to shake his hand. How did that happen?

0:06:530:06:56

I really don't know. I'm one of the luckiest people on earth.

0:06:560:06:59

I'm hoping that my luck will hold up today.

0:06:590:07:01

-Did you force your way to the front or did you have front-row seats?

-I had front-row seats.

-Lucky you!

0:07:010:07:05

-He picked you out?

-Of course he did!

0:07:050:07:07

-Was that a high five or a handshake?

-It was a high five.

0:07:070:07:11

That'll do!

0:07:110:07:12

-I bet you haven't washed that hand since.

-Absolutely not!

0:07:120:07:15

OK, right, and you hope that luck carries through

0:07:150:07:17

to this round of Arts & Books. Do you want to go first or second?

0:07:170:07:20

I think I'd like to go second.

0:07:200:07:22

OK, Barry, your first question.

0:07:250:07:27

In the 1871 portrait popularly known as Whistler's Mother,

0:07:270:07:32

the subject is depicted doing what?

0:07:320:07:34

I think Whistler's Mother a rather severely dressed lady, in all black,

0:07:380:07:42

and she is sitting on a chair.

0:07:420:07:43

Sitting on a chair is the right answer.

0:07:430:07:46

OK, Beryl, your first question.

0:07:460:07:49

The play Hedda Gabler

0:07:490:07:50

was written by a writer of what nationality?

0:07:500:07:53

Hmm, right.

0:07:560:07:58

I'm really not sure about this one.

0:07:580:08:00

Hedda Gabler...

0:08:000:08:02

Um...

0:08:030:08:05

It doesn't sound Italian.

0:08:050:08:07

Um...

0:08:070:08:08

I don't think it's Russian, so I'm going to go with Norwegian.

0:08:080:08:11

Good on you, Beryl - it's the right way to go.

0:08:130:08:15

Written by... Barry?

0:08:150:08:18

-Is it Henrik Ibsen?

-Yes, it is.

0:08:180:08:20

It's only out of interest anyway.

0:08:200:08:22

Barry's second question.

0:08:220:08:23

What was the former name of the theatre

0:08:230:08:26

that since a major redevelopment in 2006

0:08:260:08:29

has been known as Northern Stage?

0:08:290:08:31

Oh, this is one I've missed.

0:08:360:08:38

Er...

0:08:380:08:39

I really don't know, so this is going to be a guess.

0:08:390:08:42

Northern Stage.

0:08:420:08:44

They're all northern cities, so that doesn't really help me much.

0:08:440:08:47

Northern Stage...

0:08:470:08:49

Right, I'll go for Liverpool Everyman.

0:08:490:08:51

-We had a team from there on, didn't we, Barry?

-We did indeed.

0:08:530:08:56

I didn't hear them saying it.

0:08:560:08:58

Well, you never know!

0:08:580:09:00

It's the wrong answer

0:09:000:09:02

and Beryl did very well to keep a straight face there, didn't you?

0:09:020:09:05

-Is it in Newcastle?

-I would have got that one!

0:09:050:09:07

Of course you would! How many times have you been there?

0:09:070:09:10

Lots and lots!

0:09:100:09:11

Yeah, a lovely theatre.

0:09:110:09:13

It's a pity you didn't get that question. But he didn't get it,

0:09:130:09:16

so it kind of evens out.

0:09:160:09:17

You would have swallowed that one so easily.

0:09:170:09:20

It means you do have a chance for the lead here

0:09:200:09:23

if you get this.

0:09:230:09:24

Which of these famous artists was a contemporary of Claude Monet?

0:09:240:09:28

Again, I'm not 100% about this one.

0:09:310:09:34

Um...

0:09:340:09:35

I don't think it was Rembrandt.

0:09:350:09:37

Um...

0:09:370:09:39

I'm not sure between Renoir and Rubens.

0:09:390:09:42

But I'm going to go for Rubens.

0:09:420:09:44

OK, Rubens.

0:09:440:09:45

You're a librarian, obviously better with the written side of this.

0:09:450:09:49

LAUGHTER

0:09:490:09:51

And it's not Rubens.

0:09:510:09:54

It is Renoir.

0:09:540:09:55

It's all square. Barry's third question.

0:09:550:09:58

Barry, Dean Moriarty is a character in which American novel?

0:09:580:10:02

Dean Moriarty is a Steinbeck character,

0:10:060:10:08

which rules out F Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is The Night.

0:10:080:10:11

And he's not in East Of Eden. He's in On The Road.

0:10:110:10:15

Yes, he is. On The Road is correct.

0:10:160:10:19

So well done, Barry.

0:10:190:10:21

You have a lead, and Beryl, you need this, then.

0:10:210:10:24

How is the young woman Dorothy Hare in the title of a novel

0:10:240:10:27

by George Orwell?

0:10:270:10:29

Um...seems an obvious answer,

0:10:340:10:37

but it may be completely off track,

0:10:370:10:40

but I'm going to go for A Gamekeeper's Wife.

0:10:400:10:43

OK.

0:10:430:10:44

I had a sinking feeling as I heard you doing that.

0:10:440:10:48

-Barry, you're shaking your head.

-No, she's A Clergyman's Daughter.

0:10:480:10:51

-Aw!

-That is the answer we needed to hear - A Clergyman's Daughter.

0:10:510:10:55

Which means bad luck, Beryl -

0:10:550:10:57

it looked good for you for just a moment or two

0:10:570:11:00

with that Newcastle Playhouse question,

0:11:000:11:03

but it means that Barry is through to the final round.

0:11:030:11:06

Would you both please come back and join your teams.

0:11:060:11:09

Well, the Sages of Gateshead

0:11:090:11:10

have now lost two brains from the final round.

0:11:100:11:12

The Eggheads all still standing.

0:11:120:11:14

Our next subject, then, is Geography.

0:11:140:11:17

Who'd like to do this one for us from the Sages - Geography?

0:11:170:11:20

You went for it before, didn't you?

0:11:200:11:22

Yeah, I think if you're good at geography...

0:11:220:11:25

-Definitely.

-OK - JB?

0:11:250:11:28

-JB.

-Choose your Egghead. Barry and Judith have played

0:11:280:11:31

from there, so you have Chris, Pat or Kevin.

0:11:310:11:34

I'll choose Pat, if I may.

0:11:340:11:37

You may.

0:11:370:11:38

Pat looking delighted(!)

0:11:380:11:40

So JB and Pat into the Question Room, then.

0:11:400:11:43

Now, JB, you've travelled quite a lot. Done a trek in the Himalayas, things like that?

0:11:450:11:50

Yes, that really was a lifetime's ambition.

0:11:500:11:53

I had a friend who did business out there.

0:11:530:11:55

I was lucky enough to be able to tag along with him

0:11:550:11:58

and we trekked in the Himalayas out on the Tibetan border,

0:11:580:12:02

which was fabulous.

0:12:020:12:04

OK, well, I hope you kept your eyes open and took notes out there

0:12:040:12:07

in case anything from that region comes up in this Geography round.

0:12:070:12:10

Do you want to go first or second?

0:12:100:12:12

I'd like to go first if that's all right, thank you.

0:12:120:12:14

OK, JB, first question is this.

0:12:170:12:19

Which of these US states is landlocked?

0:12:190:12:22

Which of these US states is landlocked?

0:12:250:12:27

Right. Um...

0:12:290:12:30

Well, I'm pretty certain it's not Florida,

0:12:300:12:32

because that does seem to have a large sea coast.

0:12:320:12:37

Maine, up on the northeast coast again, I'm sure.

0:12:370:12:43

Um...

0:12:430:12:44

I would plump for Kansas for that one.

0:12:440:12:47

Ah, Kansas.

0:12:470:12:48

Yes.

0:12:480:12:49

Is the right answer, of course it is. Well done.

0:12:490:12:52

Pat, Samsun in Turkey Mangalia in Romania

0:12:570:13:01

and Burgas in Bulgaria

0:13:010:13:03

are coastal resorts on which body of water?

0:13:030:13:05

I think with those three countries, it would have to be the Black Sea.

0:13:080:13:12

Yes, it would rather, wouldn't it?

0:13:120:13:14

OK, both eased into this round.

0:13:140:13:17

Let's ratchet it up a bit now.

0:13:170:13:19

JB's second question.

0:13:190:13:21

Which Australian state capital

0:13:210:13:23

stands at the mouth of the River Derwent?

0:13:230:13:26

Which Australian state capital

0:13:280:13:30

stands at the mouth of the River Derwent?

0:13:300:13:32

I'm afraid it is going to be a guess.

0:13:320:13:35

And I'm going to go for...

0:13:350:13:38

Adelaide.

0:13:390:13:40

Adelaide for the River Derwent.

0:13:400:13:42

Um...

0:13:420:13:43

No, it's not.

0:13:430:13:45

-Pat, do you know it?

-It's Hobart.

-It's Hobart, yes.

0:13:450:13:49

Tasmania.

0:13:500:13:52

OK.

0:13:520:13:53

Pat's second question.

0:13:530:13:55

Quezon City is the former capital of which country?

0:13:550:13:59

Quezon City - Q-U-E-Z-O-N -

0:14:010:14:04

is the former capital of which country?

0:14:040:14:07

Er, it... It's on Luzon Island,

0:14:080:14:12

a bit north of Manila, so it's in the Philippines.

0:14:120:14:15

You demonstrated by that that you know it well. It's the right answer,

0:14:150:14:19

so you have a lead and JB needs this one.

0:14:190:14:22

The African peaks known in English

0:14:220:14:24

as Mount Speke, Mount Baker and Mount Stanley

0:14:240:14:27

are on or near the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo

0:14:270:14:30

and which other country?

0:14:300:14:32

That IS difficult.

0:14:350:14:37

Again, I'd have loved to have travelled to Africa

0:14:370:14:39

to have explored these places,

0:14:390:14:41

but it isn't a continent that I have ever visited.

0:14:410:14:45

Um...

0:14:450:14:46

My hunch is probably

0:14:480:14:51

to go towards Uganda.

0:14:510:14:54

So I'm going to eliminate Zambia and I'm going to eliminate Tanzania

0:14:540:14:58

and I'm going to hope I'm right and plump for Uganda.

0:14:580:15:01

So just relying on your basic knowledge of African geography,

0:15:010:15:05

you're trying to picture where the Democratic Republic of Congo is

0:15:050:15:09

and its borders...

0:15:090:15:11

And its mountainous border with Uganda.

0:15:120:15:14

It's the right answer.

0:15:140:15:16

Well, well done, but you need to

0:15:180:15:20

survive this to have a hope of getting into the final round.

0:15:200:15:23

Pat, the city of Cartagena,

0:15:230:15:25

in which country, has a port and monuments

0:15:250:15:28

that have been made a World Heritage Site?

0:15:280:15:30

It's one of these Spanish names,

0:15:330:15:36

like Valencia or Cordoba,

0:15:360:15:38

that pop up both in the old world and the new world.

0:15:380:15:41

But the best-known Cartagena I can think of is in Colombia.

0:15:410:15:46

Well, I think we have seen a very assured performance there.

0:15:460:15:49

I know the outcome. I'm going to tell you that that is correct.

0:15:490:15:51

Pat really knowing his onions there when it comes to Geography.

0:15:510:15:55

It's correct, and puts you through to the final round.

0:15:550:15:57

Would you both please come back and join your teams.

0:15:570:16:00

Well, unlucky up to this point, Sages of Gateshead.

0:16:010:16:04

You've lost three brains from the final round.

0:16:040:16:06

The Eggheads haven't lost any, so this is your last chance to get rid of one of them.

0:16:060:16:09

Banish them to the quiet of the Question Room

0:16:090:16:12

during the final round. This is Film & Television.

0:16:120:16:15

There are two players available,

0:16:150:16:16

who are Michael and John.

0:16:160:16:18

-Michael.

-I think Michael.

0:16:180:16:20

-Definitely Michael.

-Yeah.

0:16:200:16:23

OK, you can have Kevin or Chris.

0:16:230:16:24

Chris, please.

0:16:240:16:26

OK, that was nice and simple.

0:16:260:16:28

Let's have Michael and Chris into the Question Room, please.

0:16:280:16:31

OK, Michael, we'll give you the choice - we always do -

0:16:330:16:36

would you like to go first or second?

0:16:360:16:38

Second, please.

0:16:380:16:39

Putting Chris in first.

0:16:430:16:45

Chris, you've got this set.

0:16:450:16:47

Here's the question.

0:16:470:16:49

In the TV sitcom Gavin and Stacey,

0:16:490:16:51

which actor plays Gavin?

0:16:510:16:52

That's Mathew Horne.

0:16:550:16:57

Yes, it is. That's correct.

0:16:570:16:59

Straight over to you, Michael.

0:16:590:17:01

What were the Hairy Bikers renamed in their 2012 TV series

0:17:010:17:05

on cooking and losing weight?

0:17:050:17:07

Yes, that was a good change of title. It was very apt as well.

0:17:110:17:14

But they do like a snack, but it wasn't the Hairy Snackers.

0:17:140:17:18

I do know it was the Hairy Dieters.

0:17:180:17:20

Yeah, I think jogging would have been going too far for them!

0:17:200:17:24

Hairy Dieters is the right answer.

0:17:240:17:26

And Chris, during the mid-1990s,

0:17:290:17:31

Amanda Burton and Kevin Whately

0:17:310:17:33

starred in which medical TV drama series?

0:17:330:17:35

Kevin Whately, better known as Lewis.

0:17:390:17:41

That was in Derbyshire - Peak Practice.

0:17:430:17:45

Yes, it was.

0:17:450:17:47

That's correct, Chris. You have two.

0:17:470:17:49

And Michael...

0:17:490:17:50

During the 1980s, Nicola Freeman, played by Gabrielle Drake,

0:17:500:17:54

worked in which soap opera establishment?

0:17:540:17:57

Um, not sure about this one.

0:18:000:18:03

So I'll have to guess a bit.

0:18:030:18:05

I don't think it was the Woolpack in Emmerdale.

0:18:050:18:07

Um...

0:18:070:18:09

I haven't heard of the Kabin.

0:18:090:18:11

-But I'll try the middle one - Crossroads Motel, please.

-OK.

0:18:110:18:14

I just love the phrasing of that question -

0:18:140:18:17

isn't that an elegant way of putting it? You could have said,

0:18:170:18:19

"Which soap opera - Emmerdale, Crossroads or Coronation Street?"

0:18:190:18:23

and you knew them all, but you had to do a little bit of extra work

0:18:230:18:25

and you still got the right answer. Well done. Crossroads Motel.

0:18:250:18:29

So it's all square again. Chris, third question.

0:18:310:18:33

The actress born Gladys Smith in Toronto

0:18:330:18:36

in 1892

0:18:360:18:38

became better known by what stage name?

0:18:380:18:40

Hmm...1892.

0:18:440:18:46

Not Mary Pickford - she was American.

0:18:480:18:50

Um...

0:18:500:18:52

Louise Brooks was fairly notorious,

0:18:520:18:54

but I think I'll go with Lillian Gish.

0:18:540:18:57

OK, Lillian Gish.

0:18:570:18:59

Chris, always barking up the wrong tree,

0:19:000:19:02

because it is Mary Pickford.

0:19:020:19:04

Hmm!

0:19:040:19:05

-Who WAS Canadian.

-Oh, she was?

0:19:050:19:07

So that's good news

0:19:070:19:11

and just requires Michael to administer the killer blow here.

0:19:110:19:15

This gets you through to the final round, Michael.

0:19:150:19:17

Helen Mirren's first nomination for an Academy Award

0:19:170:19:21

was for her performance as which queen?

0:19:210:19:23

Um...

0:19:270:19:28

I'm not 100% on this one.

0:19:300:19:31

I think I'll go for the middle one - Queen Elizabeth.

0:19:340:19:37

OK, Queen Elizabeth I.

0:19:370:19:39

It's not.

0:19:390:19:41

It is, Eggheads?

0:19:410:19:43

Queen Charlotte.

0:19:430:19:45

Wonderful film, actually. Quite old now, isn't it?

0:19:450:19:48

A few years ago, yes.

0:19:480:19:50

-With the now sadly departed...

-Nigel Hawthorne.

-Nigel Hawthorne

0:19:500:19:55

as George III.

0:19:550:19:57

So, Queen Charlotte there. Well, a chance gone begging.

0:19:570:20:00

It stays all square. We go into Sudden Death,

0:20:000:20:03

removing the options.

0:20:030:20:05

Chris, who played a woodwork teacher called Trevor Chaplin

0:20:050:20:09

in the 1980s TV drama series the Beiderbecke Tapes?

0:20:090:20:13

He was married to a character played by Barbara Flynn.

0:20:130:20:17

-It was James Bolam.

-It was.

0:20:170:20:19

The Likely Lad. James Bolam.

0:20:190:20:21

I'm sure you would have got this.

0:20:210:20:23

Your neck of the woods. OK.

0:20:230:20:25

Michael, which actress plays Slim in the 1944 film

0:20:250:20:29

To Have And Have Not and says the line,

0:20:290:20:32

"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve?"

0:20:320:20:35

That's Mrs Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall.

0:20:350:20:39

I thought you were going to say Mrs Humphrey Bogart -

0:20:390:20:41

that would have given me a problem there!

0:20:410:20:45

But you did say Lauren Bacall, so that's fine.

0:20:450:20:47

It is the right answer.

0:20:470:20:49

I'd love to give you a bonus point.

0:20:500:20:53

I won't, but just to display your knowledge.

0:20:530:20:56

It was a rhetorical question, because she answered it herself

0:20:560:20:59

with what line - can you remember?

0:20:590:21:01

-An approximation?

-Er...

0:21:010:21:02

"You just put your lips together and blow."

0:21:020:21:04

Perfect!

0:21:040:21:06

You know your classic movies.

0:21:090:21:10

Pity I can't give you another point, but I can't.

0:21:100:21:12

So, on it goes. Chris...

0:21:120:21:14

Which Australian-born actress, who appeared in Home And Away

0:21:140:21:17

in the 1990s, received a Golden Globe nomination

0:21:170:21:21

for her performance in the US TV series In Treatment?

0:21:210:21:24

Was that Anne Charleston?

0:21:240:21:26

No, it wasn't. Other Eggheads?

0:21:260:21:28

-Melissa George?

-Melissa George.

0:21:280:21:30

OK...

0:21:300:21:32

This will knock him out.

0:21:330:21:34

Michael, which Hollywood film actress

0:21:340:21:37

was killed in a plane crash at the age of 33

0:21:370:21:40

in January 1942,

0:21:400:21:42

when returning home from a war bond rally?

0:21:420:21:45

I think that was the great Carole Lombard.

0:21:450:21:49

You did really well on that whistling question.

0:21:510:21:53

1944, To Have And Have Not.

0:21:530:21:56

This is 1942.

0:21:560:21:58

And Carole Lombard is correct!

0:21:580:22:00

SAGES CHEER

0:22:000:22:01

I see your knowledge of those classic movies

0:22:050:22:07

has really helped you through there.

0:22:070:22:09

Michael, you've made it into the final round.

0:22:090:22:11

No place for Chris. Would you please come back and join your teams.

0:22:110:22:14

So this is what we've been playing towards.

0:22:160:22:18

It's time for the final round,

0:22:180:22:20

which, as always, is General Knowledge.

0:22:200:22:22

But those of you who lost your head-to-heads

0:22:220:22:24

won't be allowed to take part in this round.

0:22:240:22:26

So, Simon, Beryl and JB from the Sages of Gateshead

0:22:260:22:30

and Chris from the Eggheads,

0:22:300:22:32

would you leave the studio, please?

0:22:320:22:34

So, John and Michael,

0:22:360:22:37

you're playing to win the Sages of Gateshead £13,000.

0:22:370:22:40

Barry, Pat, Judith and Kevin, you're playing for something

0:22:400:22:43

which money cannot buy -

0:22:430:22:44

it's the Eggheads' reputation.

0:22:440:22:46

As usual, I will ask each team three questions in turn.

0:22:460:22:48

This time, the questions are all General Knowledge and you are allowed to confer.

0:22:480:22:52

So, the Sages of Gateshead,

0:22:520:22:54

the question is, are your two brains better than the Eggheads' four?

0:22:540:22:57

John and Michael, would you like to go first or second?

0:22:570:22:59

We'll go second, please.

0:22:590:23:01

It's the Eggheads in first, so this is your question.

0:23:050:23:08

What type of garment is a tabard?

0:23:080:23:10

What type of garment is a tabard?

0:23:150:23:17

-Sleeveless top?

-Yes.

0:23:170:23:19

Sleeveless top.

0:23:190:23:20

We believe that's a sleeveless top.

0:23:200:23:22

Sleeveless top is correct, Eggheads.

0:23:220:23:25

Sages, your first question.

0:23:250:23:27

Which nursery rhyme makes a reference to curds and whey?

0:23:270:23:31

Which nursery rhyme makes a reference to curds and whey?

0:23:340:23:38

-Little Jack Horner, isn't it?

-I was going to say that.

0:23:380:23:41

"Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his curds and whey."

0:23:410:23:44

-"Along came a spider and sat down beside..."

-Ah, no -

0:23:440:23:47

sat down beside HER.

0:23:470:23:48

Must be Little Miss Muffet.

0:23:480:23:50

THEY LAUGH

0:23:500:23:52

"Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet"

0:23:520:23:54

BOTH: "Eating her curds and whey

0:23:540:23:56

"Along came a spider and sat down beside her

0:23:560:23:58

"And frightened Miss Muffet away."

0:23:580:24:00

After conferring, we've decided it's Little Miss Muffet.

0:24:000:24:04

Phew!

0:24:040:24:05

Lucky you got your tuffet there.

0:24:050:24:07

-You were nearly in the corner with Jack Horner!

-We were!

0:24:070:24:10

That was close - it's the right answer.

0:24:100:24:12

Heavens knows...if you'd gone Bo Beep and her sheep.

0:24:120:24:15

All right, you got it in the end.

0:24:150:24:18

Nice of you to say it out loud!

0:24:180:24:19

You got your team-mates chuckling in the background there.

0:24:190:24:22

Well done.

0:24:220:24:23

Eggheads, what is the modern meaning of the word "egregious"?

0:24:230:24:27

What is the modern meaning of the word "egregious"?

0:24:320:24:34

Conspicuously bad?

0:24:340:24:36

Yes.

0:24:360:24:37

That is conspicuously bad.

0:24:370:24:39

It's the right answer, Eggheads.

0:24:390:24:41

Conspicuously bad.

0:24:410:24:43

As that answer wasn't.

0:24:430:24:45

OK, John and Michael, second question.

0:24:450:24:47

The Reverend John Flynn,

0:24:470:24:49

whose portrait appears on the Australian 20 note, issued in 1994,

0:24:490:24:53

was the founder of which organisation?

0:24:530:24:56

The Reverend John Flynn,

0:25:020:25:03

whose portrait appears on the Australian 20 note, issued in 1994,

0:25:030:25:07

was the founder of which organisation?

0:25:070:25:10

I haven't a clue!

0:25:100:25:12

Since he's on a bank note, it's perhaps most likely to be the bank?

0:25:140:25:18

I wouldn't think the cricket club's important enough.

0:25:200:25:23

-Could be the Flying Doctor Service...

-Yeah.

0:25:250:25:27

So...

0:25:290:25:31

What do we think?

0:25:310:25:32

Possibly...

0:25:320:25:34

the bank wouldn't...

0:25:340:25:35

honour its own.

0:25:350:25:37

I think I'd go with the middle one.

0:25:390:25:41

The middle one.

0:25:410:25:42

Yeah, we're going to plump for the middle one. We really don't know,

0:25:420:25:46

but we'll say Royal Flying Doctor Service.

0:25:460:25:48

I heard you say, first reaction, that it would be appropriate

0:25:480:25:51

for it to be from the Reserve Bank,

0:25:510:25:53

given that it's a bank note,

0:25:530:25:55

but in the end, after deliberation, going for the Flying Doctor Service.

0:25:550:26:00

It's the right answer! Well done.

0:26:000:26:02

All square.

0:26:030:26:04

Eggheads, third question.

0:26:040:26:06

In Greek mythology,

0:26:060:26:08

who accidentally killed his grandfather with a discus?

0:26:080:26:11

In Greek mythology,

0:26:150:26:16

who accidentally killed his grandfather with a discus?

0:26:160:26:19

Perseus, isn't it?

0:26:190:26:21

Think it is, yes.

0:26:210:26:22

Pretty certain it is.

0:26:220:26:24

I'm pretty sure it's not Dionysus.

0:26:240:26:25

It's not Telemachus either.

0:26:250:26:27

-He was Odysseus' son.

-Yes.

0:26:270:26:29

Dionysus was a god, so...I suppose he could have killed someone.

0:26:290:26:33

-I think it's Perseus.

-It must be Perseus.

0:26:330:26:36

We think that was Perseus.

Perseus killed his grandfather with a discus...

0:26:380:26:41

That is correct, Eggheads.

0:26:410:26:42

Three to you means, as you well know,

0:26:420:26:45

John and Michael, you need to get this.

0:26:450:26:48

As well as being the surname of a well-known Czech composer,

0:26:480:26:51

Smetana is a Russian word

0:26:510:26:53

for a type of which foodstuff?

0:26:530:26:55

As well as being the surname of a well-known Czech composer,

0:26:590:27:02

Smetana is a Russian word

0:27:020:27:04

for a type of which foodstuff?

0:27:040:27:06

It's S-M-E-T-A-N-A.

0:27:060:27:09

I instantly thought a sausage-type...

0:27:110:27:13

-You don't think it's a sausage?

-No, I did.

0:27:130:27:16

Right, I don't think it's the fruit cake.

0:27:160:27:20

No.

0:27:200:27:21

So, um...

0:27:220:27:23

Yeah, if you have an instinct for the sausage,

0:27:230:27:27

that, I think...

0:27:270:27:28

is the one I would go towards.

0:27:280:27:30

I'm not certain, but...

0:27:300:27:32

-Will we just plump for that?

-I think so.

0:27:320:27:34

-Liver sausage.

-Liver sausage.

0:27:360:27:38

OK, crucial question.

0:27:380:27:39

You need to get this. Playing second, there's no reprieve

0:27:390:27:43

if you get it wrong.

0:27:430:27:44

So, Smetana, the Czech composer,

0:27:440:27:47

is also Russian for...

0:27:470:27:49

sour cream.

0:27:490:27:51

Which means, Eggheads, you've won.

0:27:510:27:53

They're always honest with me, and, as you know,

0:27:590:28:01

usually the challenging teams go first and the Eggheads go second,

0:28:010:28:04

so I just want to see - did you know that about Smetana?

0:28:040:28:06

ALL: Yes.

0:28:060:28:07

Just out of interest, just so you know.

0:28:070:28:10

Sages of Gateshead, it's been great seeing you.

0:28:100:28:13

From the Eggheads' point of view, great quizzing with you.

0:28:130:28:15

Thank you very much indeed for playing, but it wasn't to be.

0:28:150:28:18

The Eggheads have done what comes naturally to them

0:28:180:28:21

and their winning streak continues.

0:28:210:28:22

I'm afraid you won't be going home with that £13,000.

0:28:220:28:25

And that means the money rolls over to the next show.

0:28:250:28:27

Eggheads, congratulations. Who can beat you?

0:28:270:28:30

Join us next time to see if a new team of challengers

0:28:300:28:33

have the brains to defeat the Eggheads.

0:28:330:28:36

£14,000 says they don't.

0:28:360:28:38

Until then, goodbye.
